Section 5.3 Reasonable Efforts.

(a) Subject to the terms and conditions of this Agreement, each Party shall use its reasonable best efforts to take, or cause to be taken, all actions, and to do, or cause to be done, and to assist and cooperate with the other Party in doing, all things necessary, proper or advisable to consummate and make effective, the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

(b) Seller and Purchaser each shall use its commercially reasonable efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable all Permits required by law for Purchaser to conduct the Business following the Closing. Notwithstanding the foregoing, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall be required to expend any material sum to obtain any such Permits.

(c) Seller and Purchaser will cooperate and, Seller shall, and shall cause the Company and its Subsidiaries to, use their respective reasonable best efforts to obtain as promptly as practicable any consents, approvals and waivers required from third Persons pursuant to the Material Contracts in connection with the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. With respect to any Material Contract for which any consent has not been obtained prior to the Closing, in the event that the Closing occurs, Seller shall continue to use reasonable best efforts to obtain any such consent after the Closing until either such consent has been obtained or Seller and Purchaser mutually agree, in good faith, that such consent cannot reasonably be obtained. Nothing in this Section 5.3(c) shall require Seller or Purchaser to expend any material sum, make a material financial commitment or grant or agree to any material concession to any third Person to obtain any such consent, approval or waiver.

(d) Purchaser and Seller shall promptly (and in no event more than thirty (30) Business Days after the date of this Agreement and except to the extent provided below) make all filings and notifications with all Governmental Authorities that may be or may become reasonably necessary, proper or advisable under this Agreement and applicable Laws to consummate and make effective the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Within ten (10) Business Days of the date of this Agreement, Purchaser shall file an appropriate change of control application pursuant to Section 1506 of the New York Insurance Law to be filed with the Domiciliary Regulator with respect to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement; and (ii) Purchaser and Seller making any other filing that may be required under any insurance, financial services or similar applicable Law or by any Governmental Authority with jurisdiction over enforcement of any applicable insurance, financial services or similar law. Purchaser shall provide a draft of the New York Insurance Law change of control application and all amendments thereto to Seller no less than three (3) Business Days prior to filing. Purchaser shall respond to questions and requests for information from the Domiciliary Regulator without unreasonable delay and otherwise diligently prosecute such application. The business plan included in such filing shall contemplate (i) that the Insurance Company will not be placed into “runoff,” and (ii) that Purchaser will contribute $10,000,000 of new capital into the Insurance Company in connection with the Closing (the “Capital Contribution”) and (iii) no new business that would require additional capital in excess of the Capital Contribution together with capital expected to be generated by operations. Such elements of the business plan shall not be modified prior to the Closing without the prior written consent of Seller, which consent shall be within the sole discretion of Seller. The Parties shall otherwise consider in good faith the views and comments of one another on any filings with Governmental Authorities in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, including any amendments or supplements to such filings, and shall provide any such amendments or supplements to the other Party in advance of filing. Purchaser shall have responsibility for the filing fees associated with its New York Insurance Law change of control application and any “Form E” or similar market share notifications, and Seller and Purchaser each shall have responsibility for their other respective filing fees associated with any other required filings. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, whether in this Section 5.3(d) or otherwise, neither Purchaser nor Seller shall not be obligated to take or refrain from taking or to agree to it or its Affiliates or any of the Company or its Subsidiaries taking or refraining from any action or to suffer to exist any condition, limitation, restriction or requirement that, individually or in the aggregate with any other actions, conditions, limitations, restrictions or requirements would or would reasonably be likely to result in a Purchaser Burdensome Condition or Seller Burdensome Condition, respectively. As used herein, “Purchaser Burdensome Condition” means any condition that would (i) materially and adversely restrict the operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries taken as a whole or the Purchaser or its Affiliates, (ii) require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to take any action that involves divestiture of an existing business of Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, including, after the Closing, the Company or its Subsidiaries, (iii) require Purchaser or any of its Affiliates to make a capital contribution in excess of the $10 million Capital Contribution or any guarantee or keep-well commitment to the Insurance Company, (iv) prohibit, restrict or limit the declaration, setting aside or payment of dividends or distributions by the Insurance Company, except, to the extent applicable to this clause (iv), any prohibition, restriction or limitation imposed by statute generally on insurance companies domiciled in the State of New York, or (v) reasonably be expected to impair the overall benefit expected to be realized from the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, excluding in all instances any condition contemplated by the so-called special commitments required by the Domiciliary Regulator with respect to the change of control application pursuant to Section 1506 of the New York Insurance Law and “Seller Burdensome Condition” means any conditions, restrictions or requirements which Seller reasonably determines in good faith would, individually or in the aggregate, materially reduce the benefits of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement to Seller or which requires any contribution, guarantee or keep-well commitment or other commitment or other financial, operational or other obligation of Seller or its Affiliates. Subject to applicable Laws relating to the sharing of information, each of Seller and Purchaser shall promptly notify each other of any communication it receives from any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement and, to the extent practicable, permit the other party to review in advance, and consider in good faith the views of the other Party in connection with, any proposed written communication to any Governmental Authority in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, and promptly provide each other with copies of all correspondence or communications between such party or any of its Representatives, on the one hand, and any Governmental Authority or members of the staff of any Governmental Authority, on the other hand. No party shall participate, agree to participate or permit its Representatives to participate or agree to participate, in any meeting with any Governmental Authority relating to the matters that are the subject of this Agreement unless to the extent reasonably practicable it consults with the other parties in advance and, to the extent reasonably practicable and permitted by the applicable Governmental Authority, gives the other parties the reasonable opportunity to attend and participate prior to participating in any meeting with any Governmental Authority in respect of such transactions. Seller and Purchaser shall coordinate and cooperate fully with each other in exchanging such information and providing such assistance as the other parties may reasonably request in connection with the foregoing. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary in this Section 5.3(d), no Party nor any of its Affiliates shall be required to disclose to the other, or permit such other Party to participate in any meeting with a Governmental Authority with respect to, (i) any information that in the reasonable judgment of such Party would result in the disclosure of any trade secrets of third parties or violate any of its contractual obligations or obligations with respect to confidentiality, (ii) any personal information (including personal financial information), (iii) any information with respect to the finances or organization of any direct or indirect shareholder of Purchaser or (iv) any privileged information or confidential competitive information. No party shall be required to comply with any of the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.3(d) to the extent that such compliance would be prohibited by applicable Law.

Seller shall reimburse Purchaser for the time of any Current Employee providing services under this Section 5.5(d) at an hourly rate based on the then current salary of the Current Employee agreed to in advance by Seller and Purchaser. Such services shall not materially interfere with the operation of the Company and its Subsidiaries. None of the Purchaser, the Company, its Subsidiaries or any of their Affiliates shall have any liability to Seller in connection with the provision of services pursuant to this Section 5.5(d).

Prior to the Closing, neither Purchaser nor any Affiliate, officer, director, advisor, agent or employee of Purchaser shall contact any employee, customer, supplier or other person having a commercial relationship with the Company or any Subsidiary with respect to the Business or the transactions contemplated by this Agreement (or only in the case of Producers of the Company and its Subsidiaries with respect to any matter) without the prior written consent of Seller, such consent not to be unreasonably withheld, conditioned or delayed.

Section 5.10 Non-Competition.

(c) It is the desired intent of the Parties that the foregoing provisions of this Section 5.10 shall be enforced to the fullest extent permissible in each jurisdiction in which enforcement is sought. Accordingly, the Parties agree that if the covenants set forth in this Section 5.10 are deemed by any court or arbitrator to be invalid or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, the court or arbitrator may reduce the scope thereof or otherwise amend or reform the portion thus adjudicated to be invalid or unenforceable, such reduction, amendment or reformation to apply only with respect to the particular jurisdiction in which such adjudication is made.

(d) Each of the Parties acknowledges that there is no adequate remedy at law for any breach or threatened breach by Seller or its Affiliates of the covenants and agreements set forth in this Section 5.10 and, accordingly, Seller agrees that Purchaser shall, in addition to the other remedies that may be available to it hereunder or at law, be entitled to seek an injunction temporarily or permanently enjoining Seller and its Affiliates from breaching or threatening to breach such covenants and agreements.

Section 5.13 Consultation. In connection with the continuing operation of the business of the Company and its Subsidiaries and ongoing compliance with this Agreement, not less than once in every calendar week between the date hereof and the Closing, subject to any limitations arising under applicable Law, a senior officer of each of the Company and Purchaser shall participate in a live or telephonic meeting at which (i) the applicable executive officer of the Company shall report material operational developments and the general status of ongoing operations pursuant to procedures reasonably requested by the Purchaser and (ii) the Parties shall plan for the implementation of the transaction contemplated by this Agreement and the Purchaser’s business plan in connection therewith.

(b) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall have no right to indemnification for any Losses for which the Purchaser Indemnified Parties are entitled pursuant to Section 7.2(i) or the Seller Indemnified Parties are entitled pursuant to Section 7.3(i), as applicable, with respect to, and the amount of Losses for purposes of determining whether the Deductible has been reached shall exclude, any Losses attributable to any individual claim (or series of claims arising from the same events, facts or circumstances) that is indemnifiable under Section 7.2(i) or Section 7.3(i) unless such Losses exceed $10,000 (including the costs of defense thereof, including attorneys’ fees and experts fees and other disbursements), whereupon, subject to the terms, conditions and limitations set forth in this Agreement (including the Deductible and the Cap), the Purchaser Indemnified Parties or the Seller Indemnified Parties, as applicable, shall be indemnified for such Losses.

(c) Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, the maximum aggregate liability of Seller or Purchaser under this Article VII for Losses indemnified under Section 7.2(i) or Section 7.3(i), as applicable, shall not exceed $400,000 (the “Cap”).

(d) Notwithstanding the foregoing, the limitations set forth in Section 7.5(a)-(b) shall not apply to Losses resulting from any inaccuracy in or breach of any Fundamental Representation.

If the Indemnified Party receives a Tax Benefit after an indemnification payment is made to it that was not taken into account at the time the indemnification payment was made, the Indemnified Party shall promptly pay over to the Seller the amount of such Tax Benefit at such time or times as, and to the extent that, such Tax Benefit is realized by the Indemnified Party, but not in excess of the amount of the related indemnification payment. In the event that an insurance or other recovery is made by any Indemnified Party with respect to any Loss for which any such Person has been indemnified hereunder, then a refund equal to the aggregate amount of the recovery shall be promptly made to the applicable Indemnifying Party.

(f) In no event shall any Indemnifying Party be liable to any Indemnified Party for any punitive damages, other than indemnification for amounts paid or payable to third parties in respect of any Third Party Claim for which indemnification hereunder is otherwise required.

Section 7.6 Method of Asserting Claims. All claims for indemnification by any Indemnified Party under this Article VII shall be asserted and resolved as follows:

(a) If any Indemnified Party receives notice of the assertion or commencement of any Action made or brought by any Person who is not a party to this Agreement or an Affiliate of a party to this Agreement or a Representative of the foregoing (a “Third Party Claim”) against such Indemnified Party with respect to which indemnification is being sought against an Indemnifying Party under this Agreement, the Indemnified Party shall give the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) calendar days after receipt of such notice of such Third Party Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Third Party Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have the right to participate in, or by giving written notice to the Indemnified Party within 30 calendar days after receiving the Indemnified Party’s notice of claim, to assume the defense of any Third Party Claim at the Indemnifying Party’s expense and by the Indemnifying Party’s own counsel, and the Indemnified Party shall cooperate in good faith in such defense; provided, that if the Indemnifying Party is Seller, such Indemnifying Party shall not have the right to defend or direct the defense of any such Third Party Claim that (x) is asserted directly by or on behalf of a Person that is a supplier or customer of Purchaser or the Company, or (y) seeks an injunction or other equitable relief against the Indemnified Parties. The Indemnified Party shall have the right to participate in the defense of any Third Party Claim with counsel selected by it subject to the Indemnifying Party’s right to control the defense thereof. The fees and disbursements of such counsel shall be at the expense of the Indemnified Party; provided, that if in the reasonable opinion of counsel to the Indemnified Party, (A) there are legal defenses available to an Indemnified Party that are different from or additional to those available to the Indemnifying Party; or (B) there exists a conflict of interest between the Indemnifying Party and the Indemnified Party that cannot be waived, the Indemnifying Party shall be liable for the reasonable fees and expenses of counsel to the Indemnified Party in each jurisdiction for which the Indemnified Party determines counsel is required. If the Indemnifying Party elects not to compromise or defend such Third Party Claim, fails to promptly notify the Indemnified Party in writing of its election to defend as provided in this Agreement, or fails to diligently prosecute the defense of such Third Party Claim, the Indemnified Party may, subject to Section 7.6(b), pay, compromise or defend such Third Party Claim and seek indemnification for any and all Losses based upon, arising from or relating to such Third Party Claim. Seller and Purchaser shall cooperate with each other in all reasonable respects in connection with the defense of any Third Party Claim, including making available records relating to such Third Party Claim and furnishing, without expense (other than reimbursement of actual out-of-pocket expenses) to the defending party, management employees of the non-defending party as may be reasonably necessary for the preparation of the defense of such Third Party Claim.

(b) Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, the Indemnifying Party shall not enter into settlement of any Third Party Claim without the prior written consent of the Indemnified Party, except as provided in this Section 7.6(b). If a firm offer is made to settle a Third Party Claim without leading to liability or the creation of a financial or other obligation on the part of the Indemnified Party and provides, in customary form, for the unconditional release of each Indemnified Party from all liabilities and obligations in connection with such Third Party Claim and the Indemnifying Party desires to accept and agree to such offer, the Indemnifying Party shall give written notice to that effect to the Indemnified Party.

(c) Any Action by an Indemnified Party on account of a Loss which does not result from a Third Party Claim (a “Direct Claim”) shall be asserted by the Indemnified Party giving the Indemnifying Party reasonably prompt written notice thereof, but in any event not later than thirty (30) days after the Indemnified Party becomes aware of such Direct Claim. The failure to give such prompt written notice shall not, however, relieve the Indemnifying Party of its indemnification obligations, except and only to the extent that the Indemnifying Party forfeits rights or defenses by reason of such failure. Such notice by the Indemnified Party shall describe the Direct Claim in reasonable detail, shall include copies of all material written evidence thereof and shall indicate the estimated amount, if reasonably practicable, of the Loss that has been or may be sustained by the Indemnified Party. The Indemnifying Party shall have thirty (30) days after its receipt of such notice to respond in writing to such Direct Claim, except for any Direct Claim based on a breach of Section 5.10, in which case such response shall be within two (2) days. The Indemnified Party shall allow the Indemnifying Party and its professional advisors to investigate the matter or circumstance alleged to give rise to the Direct Claim, and whether and to what extent any amount is payable in respect of the Direct Claim and the Indemnified Party shall assist the Indemnifying Party’s investigation by giving such information and assistance (including access to the Company’s premises and personnel and the right to examine and copy any accounts, documents or records) as the Indemnifying Party or any of its professional advisors may reasonably request. If the Indemnifying Party does not so respond within such thirty (30) day period, the Indemnifying Party shall be deemed to have rejected such claim, in which case the Indemnified Party shall be free to pursue such remedies as may be available to the Indemnified Party on the terms and subject to the provisions of this Agreement.

(d) Nothing in this Section 7.6 shall operate to in any way to restrict or limit the ability and timing for Seller or Purchaser to seek specific performance as provided in Section 10.10 for a Party’s failure to comply with any term or provision of this Agreement.

Section 7.7 Character of Indemnity Payments. The Parties agree that any indemnification payments made with respect to this Agreement shall be treated for all Tax purposes as an adjustment to the Purchase Price unless otherwise required by Law.

Section 7.8 Exclusive Remedy. Subject to Section 10.11, the Parties acknowledge and agree that their sole and exclusive remedy with respect to any and all claims (other than claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement) for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement, shall be pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VIII and this Article VII. In furtherance of the foregoing, each Party hereby waives, to the fullest extent permitted under Law, any and all rights, claims and causes of action for any breach of any representation, warranty, covenant, agreement or obligation set forth herein or otherwise relating to the subject matter of this Agreement it may have against the other parties hereto and their Affiliates and each of their respective Representatives arising under or based upon any Law, except pursuant to the indemnification provisions set forth in Article VIII and this Article VII and except for claims arising from fraud, criminal activity or willful misconduct on the part of a party hereto in connection with the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Nothing in this Section 7.8 shall limit any Person’s right to seek and obtain any equitable relief to which any Person shall be entitled or to seek any remedy on account of any party’s fraudulent, criminal or intentional misconduct.

ARTICLE VIII

TAXES

Section 8.1 Tax Indemnity.

(a) Seller shall indemnify and hold harmless the Purchaser Indemnified Parties from and against Losses in respect of Taxes that are Covered Taxes.

(b) Seller’s obligations in paragraph (a) above shall be without regard to any disclosures that may have been made with respect to Article III or otherwise. The indemnification obligations provided for herein shall apply even if the additional Tax liability results from the filing of a Tax Return or amended Tax Return with respect to a pre-Closing Date transaction or period (or portion of a period) by Purchaser provided that Purchaser shall not cause or permit the Company or any Subsidiary to file an amended Tax Return with respect to any taxable period ending on or prior to the Closing Date or any Straddle Period unless (y) Seller consents in its sole discretion or (z) Purchaser obtains a legal opinion from counsel reasonably acceptable to Seller that such amended return is legally required to be filed.

(i) Except as otherwise provided in clause (ii) below, in the case of any Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes allocable to (A) the Pre-Closing Tax Period and (B) the portion of the Straddle Period beginning on the day next succeeding the Closing Date (the “Post-Closing Tax Period”) shall be determined on the basis of a deemed closing at the end of the Closing Date of the books of the Company or the applicable Subsidiary.

(ii) In the case of any personal or real property Taxes that are payable with respect to a Straddle Period, the portion of such Taxes allocable to the Pre-Closing Tax Period shall be equal to the product of the sum of all such Taxes multiplied by a fraction the numerator of which is the number of days in the Straddle Period from the commencement of the Straddle Period through and including the Closing Date and the denominator of which is the number of days in the entire Straddle Period.

(iii) All payments due from Seller with respect to Taxes for which Seller has provided an indemnity therefor pursuant to this Agreement shall be made upon the earlier to occur of: (i) ten (10) Business Days following an agreement by Seller and Purchaser as to Seller’s liabilities for such Taxes, (ii) five (5) Business Days prior to the due date of the payment for the Taxes allocable to Seller pursuant to this Section 8.1, provided that Purchaser has notified Seller of such due date at least fifteen (15) Business Days prior to such due date or (iii) Seller’s receipt of notice of an assessment of such a Tax liability by a Tax Authority.

Section 8.2 Post-Closing Tax Matters.

(a) Seller shall prepare and file, or cause to be prepared and filed, all Tax Returns of the Company and any of its Subsidiaries that are required to filed on or before the Closing Date. All such Tax Returns shall be prepared in a manner consistent with past practice, except as otherwise required by Law. Purchaser shall prepare or cause to be prepared and file or cause to be filed all other Tax Returns of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries. Purchaser shall deliver or cause to be delivered to Seller any such Tax Return described in the previous sentence, to the extent it relates to a Pre-Closing Tax Period, to the extent practical, at least fifteen (15) days prior to the due date for any such Tax Return (after giving effect to any applicable extensions of time for filing) so that Seller, to the extent practical, has a meaningful opportunity to review and comment on such Tax Return. Purchaser shall consider any such comments in good faith. In the event that Purchaser and Seller are unable to agree on the reporting of any item on such Tax Returns, Purchaser and Seller shall mutually choose an independent public accounting firm to resolve such dispute, and the decision of such firm shall be final. Expenses of such independent public accounting firm shall be born evenly between the Purchaser and the Seller.

(b) Any Taxes for Straddle Periods shall be apportioned between Seller and Purchaser in the manner set forth in Section 8.1(c) hereof.

(c) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate with each other in connection with the filing of any Tax Returns and any audit, litigation or other proceeding with respect to Taxes. Such cooperation shall include the retention and (upon the other Party’s request) the provision of records and information reasonably relevant to any such audit, litigation, or other proceeding and making their respective employees, outside consultants, and advisors (including but not limited to freight forwarders and advisors with respect to customs duties) available on a mutually convenient basis to provide additional information and explanation of any material provided hereunder and of the cost of the requesting Party. Purchaser and Seller agree (i) to retain all Books and Records with respect to Tax matters pertinent to the Company and its Subsidiaries relating to any taxable period beginning before the Closing Date until the expiration of the statute of limitations (and, to the extent notified by Purchaser or Seller, any extensions of the statute of limitations) of the respective taxable periods, and to abide by all record retention agreements entered into with any Tax Authority, and (ii) to give the other Parties reasonable written notice prior to transferring, destroying or discarding any such Books and Records and, if any of the other Parties so requests, Purchaser or Seller, as the case may be, shall allow the other Party to take possession of such Books and Records.

(d) Purchaser agrees to give prompt notice to Seller of any Taxes or the assertion of any claim, or the commencement of any suit, action or proceeding in respect of which indemnity may be sought under Section 8.1 (a “Tax Proceeding”), and will give Seller such information with respect thereto as Seller may reasonably request, provided that Purchaser’s failure to provide such notice or to deliver such information to Seller shall not limit Purchaser’s rights under this Article VIII except to the extent Seller is materially prejudiced by such failure. Seller agrees to give prompt notice to Purchaser upon the receipt of any written notice by Seller of any pending or threatened Tax Proceeding or other Actions relating to Taxes of the Company or any of its Subsidiaries, provided that Seller’s failure to provide such notice or to deliver such information to Purchaser shall not limit Seller’s rights under this Article VIII except to the extent Purchaser is materially prejudiced by such failure. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary contained in this Agreement, Purchaser shall have the sole right to control and make all decisions regarding any Tax Proceeding for a Straddle Period or Post-Closing Tax Period, including selection of counsel and selection of a forum for such Tax Proceeding, provided, however, that in the event such Tax Proceeding relates to Taxes for which Seller has indemnified Purchaser or may have an indemnity obligation under Section 8.1, (i) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in the conduct of such Tax Proceeding, (ii) Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such Tax Proceeding at Seller’s expense, (iii) Purchaser shall not enter into any agreement with the relevant Tax Authority pertaining to Taxes for which Seller may have an indemnity obligation under Section 8.1 without the written consent of Seller, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed, and (iv) Purchaser may, without the written consent of Seller, enter into such an agreement, provided that Purchaser shall have agreed to accept liability for the payment of such Taxes and to forego any indemnification or other claim under this Agreement with respect to the portion of Pre-Closing Taxes for which Seller could otherwise be responsible under Section 8.1. Seller shall have the right (but not the obligation) upon written request to Purchaser, to control and make all decisions regarding any Tax Proceeding for any Pre-Closing Tax Period (excluding, for the avoidance of doubt, a Tax Proceeding relating to the portion of any Straddle Period that ends on the Closing Date); provided, however, that (i) Purchaser and Seller shall cooperate in the conduct of such Tax Proceeding relating to such period, (ii) Seller shall consult with Purchaser with respect to such Tax Proceeding and Purchaser shall have the right (but not the obligation) to participate in such Tax Proceeding and employ counsel, at its own expense, separate from counsel employed by Seller and (iii) Seller shall not enter into any agreement with the relevant Tax Authority pertaining to Taxes not indemnified by Seller (including but not limited to any such agreement that would increase the Company’s or any Subsidiary’s Taxes for a Post-Closing Tax Period) without the written consent of Purchaser, which consent shall not unreasonably be withheld, conditioned or delayed. Notwithstanding any other provision in Section 8.1, Seller shall not be liable under Section 8.1 with respect to any Taxes resulting from a Tax Proceeding with respect to which Purchaser did not comply with its obligations under this Section 8.2(d) to notify Seller or to provide Seller the opportunity to control or participate, to the extent Seller is adversely affected as a result thereof.

Section 8.3 Transfer Taxes. Seller shall be responsible for 100 percent (100%) of any transfer taxes imposed by any foreign, federal, state, local or other taxing body as a result of the consummation of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement. Seller shall timely file all necessary Tax Returns and other documentation with respect to such Transfer Taxes, and, if required by Law, Purchaser shall join in the execution of such filings. The expense of such filings shall be paid solely by Seller.

Section 8.4 Tax Sharing Agreements. All tax sharing agreements or arrangements among and between Seller and the Company or its Subsidiaries, whether or not written, if any, shall be terminated immediately prior to the Closing Date and shall have no continuing force or effect. Seller and the Company or its Subsidiaries shall, unless otherwise directed by Purchaser, terminate any power of attorney granted by or on behalf of Seller or the Company or its Subsidiaries, and any such terminated power of attorney shall have no continuing force or effect after the Closing Date.

Section 8.5 Overlap. Notwithstanding any other provision of this Agreement, neither Section 7.5 (other than paragraph (e) thereof) nor the procedures under Section 7.6 shall apply to claims arising under this Article VIII. To the extent of any inconsistency between this Article VIII and Article VII, this Article VIII shall control as to Tax matters.

ARTICLE IX

TERMINATION OF AGREEMENT

Section 9.1 Termination. This Agreement may be terminated, and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned, at any time prior to the Closing by:

(a) the mutual written agreement of Seller and Purchaser;

(b) either Seller or Purchaser if any court of competent jurisdiction or other Governmental Authority shall have issued a statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or taken any other action restraining, enjoining or otherwise prohibiting all or any portion of the transactions contemplated by this Agreement and such statute, rule, regulation, order, decree or injunction or other action shall have become final and nonappealable; provided, however, that the Party seeking to terminate this Agreement pursuant to this Section 9.1(b) shall have performed in all material respects its obligations under this Agreement at the time of such termination;

(c) either Seller or Purchaser (but only so long as Seller or Purchaser, as applicable, is not in material breach of its obligations under this Agreement at such time), in the event of a material breach by the non-terminating Party of any representation, warranty, covenant or agreement contained in this Agreement, which breach (i) cannot be or has not been cured by such non-terminating Party within twenty (20) Business Days following written notification thereof by the terminating Party or (ii) would entitle the terminating Party not to consummate the transactions contemplated hereby under Article VI; or

(d) either Purchaser or Seller if the Closing shall not have been consummated on or before the date that is six (6) calendar months from the date of this Agreement (the “Termination Date”); provided, however, that this Agreement shall not be terminated pursuant to this Section 9.1(d) by any Party whose breach of any of its obligations under this Agreement in any material respect results in the failure of the Closing to be consummated prior to the Termination Date.

Section 9.2 Termination Due to Burdensome Condition.

(a) If the Domiciliary Regulator has imposed, or communicated in writing to Purchaser that it will impose, one or more Purchaser Burdensome Conditions, then Purchaser shall confirm in writing to Seller within thirty (30) days following the first to occur of the imposition of such Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s) or receipt of a written communication of such Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s) (the “Purchaser Review Period”) as to whether Purchaser will (a) accept such Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s) for purposes of satisfying the condition set forth in Section 6.1(a) or (b) not accept such Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s). If Purchaser does not accept such Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s) or if Seller has not received written confirmation from Purchaser that it will accept the Purchaser Burdensome Condition(s) by the expiration of the Purchaser Review Period, then either Party may terminate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned.

(b) If the Domiciliary Regulator has imposed, or communicated in writing to Seller that it will impose, one or more Seller Burdensome Conditions, then Seller shall confirm in writing to Purchaser within thirty (30) days following the first to occur of the imposition of such Seller Burdensome Condition(s) or receipt of a written communication of such Seller Burdensome Condition(s) (the “Seller Review Period”) as to whether Seller will (a) accept such Seller Burdensome Condition(s) for purposes of satisfying the condition set forth in Section 6.2(a) or (b) not accept such Seller Burdensome Condition(s). If Seller does not accept such Seller Burdensome Condition(s) or if Purchaser has not received written confirmation from Seller that it will accept the Seller Burdensome Condition(s) by the expiration of the Seller Review Period, then either Party may terminate this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement may be abandoned.

Section 9.3 Effect of Termination. If this Agreement is validly terminated pursuant to Section 9.1 and, if applicable, Section 9.2, this Agreement will forthwith become null and void, and have no further effect, without any liability on the part of any Party hereto or its Affiliates or Representatives, other than the provisions of this Section 9.3 and Article X hereof and all rights and remedies based on any breach of any provision of this Agreement will survive, and no such termination shall be deemed an election of remedies with respect to any such breach.

ARTICLE X

Section 10.2 Entire Agreement. This Agreement, the Exhibits and Schedules hereto, the Confidentiality Agreement supersede all prior and contemporaneous discussions and agreements, both written and oral, among the Parties with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement and constitute the sole and entire agreement among the Parties to this Agreement with respect to the subject matter of this Agreement, and supersedes all prior and contemporaneous agreements and understandings, written or oral, with respect to the subject matter hereof.

Section 10.3 Expenses. Except as otherwise expressly provided in this Agreement, whether or not the transactions contemplated by this Agreement are consummated, each Party will pay its own costs and expenses incurred in connection with the negotiation, execution and closing of this Agreement and the transactions contemplated by this Agreement.

Section 10.4 Waiver. Any term or condition of this Agreement may be waived at any time by the Party that is entitled to the benefit thereof, but no such waiver shall be effective unless set forth in a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of the Party waiving such term or condition. No waiver by any Party of any term or condition of this Agreement, in any one or more instances, shall be deemed to be or construed as a waiver (a) of the same or any other term or condition of this Agreement on any future occasion or (b) in respect of any failure, breach or default not expressly identified by such written waiver, whether of a similar or different character, and whether occurring before or after that waiver. No failure to exercise, or delay in exercising, any right, remedy, power or privilege arising from this Agreement shall operate or be construed as a waiver thereof; nor shall any single or partial exercise of any right, remedy, power or privilege hereunder preclude any other or further exercise thereof or the exercise of any other right, remedy, power or privilege.

Section 10.5 Amendment. This Agreement may be amended, supplemented or modified only by a written instrument duly executed by or on behalf of each Party to this Agreement.

Section 10.6 No Third Party Beneficiary. Except for the rights of the Purchaser Indemnified Parties and the Seller Indemnified Parties pursuant to Articles VII and VIII, as to which they are express third-party beneficiaries, the terms and provisions of this Agreement are intended solely for the benefit of each Party hereto and their respective successors or permitted assigns, and it is not the intention of the Parties to confer third-party beneficiary rights upon any other Person other than any Person entitled to indemnity under Article VII.

Section 10.7 Assignment; Binding Effect. Neither this Agreement nor any right, interest or obligation under this Agreement may be assigned by any Party to this Agreement by operation of law or otherwise without the prior written consent of the other Party to this Agreement and any attempt to do so will be void; provided, however, Purchaser may assign to any Affiliate without consent of Seller. Subject to the foregoing, this Agreement is binding upon, inures to the benefit of and is enforceable by the Parties to this Agreement and their respective successors and assigns.

Section 10.8 CONSENT TO JURISDICTION AND SERVICE OF PROCESS. EACH PARTY HEREBY IRREVOCABLY SUBMITS TO THE EXCLUSIVE JURISDICTION OF THE UNITED STATES DISTRICT COURT FOR THE SOUTHERN DISTRICT OF NEW YORK OR ANY COURT OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK LOCATED IN THE COUNTY OF NEW YORK IN RESPECT OF ANY ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING ARISING IN CONNECTION WITH THIS AGREEMENT AND THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY AND THEREBY, AND AGREES THAT ANY SUCH ACTION, SUIT OR PROCEEDING SHALL BE BROUGHT ONLY IN SUCH COURT (AND WAIVES ANY OBJECTION BASED ON FORUM NON CONVENIENS OR ANY OTHER OBJECTION TO VENUE THEREIN); PROVIDED, HOWEVER, THAT SUCH CONSENT TO JURISDICTION IS SOLELY FOR THE PURPOSE REFERRED TO IN THIS SECTION 10.8 AND SHALL NOT BE DEEMED TO BE A GENERAL SUBMISSION TO THE JURISDICTION OF SAID COURTS OR IN THE STATE OF NEW YORK OTHER THAN FOR SUCH PURPOSE. Any and all process may be served in any action, suit or proceeding arising in connection with this Agreement by complying with the provisions of Section 10.1. Such service of process shall have the same effect as if the Party being served were a resident in the State of New York and had been lawfully served with such process in such jurisdiction. The Parties hereby waive all claims of error by reason of such service. Nothing herein shall affect the right of any Party to service process in any other manner permitted by law or to commence legal proceedings or otherwise proceed against the other in any other jurisdiction to enforce judgments or rulings of the aforementioned courts.

Section 10.9 Waiver.

(a) THE PARTIES TO THIS AGREEMENT EXPRESSLY WAIVE AND FOREGO ANY RIGHT TO RECOVER PUNITIVE OR EXEMPLARY DAMAGES IN ANY ARBITRATION, LAWSUIT, LITIGATION OR PROCEEDING ARISING OUT OF OR RESULTING FROM ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY (EXCEPT WITH RESPECT TO THE EXTENT OWED TO A THIRD PARTY IN RESPECT OF A THIRD PARTY CLAIM).

(b) EACH PARTY ACKNOWLEDGES AND AGREES THAT ANY CONTROVERSY OR CLAIM WHICH MAY ARISE OUT OF OR RELATE TO THIS AGREEMENT IS LIKELY TO INVOLVE COMPLICATED AND DIFFICULT ISSUES, AND THEREFORE IT HEREBY IRREVOCABLY AND UNCONDITIONALLY WAIVES ANY RIGHT IT MAY HAVE TO A TRIAL BY JURY IN RESPECT OF ANY LITIGATION DIRECTLY OR INDIRECTLY ARISING OUT OF OR RELATING TO THIS AGREEMENT OR THE TRANSACTIONS CONTEMPLATED HEREBY.

(c) EACH PARTY CERTIFIES AND ACKNOWLEDGES THAT (i) NO REPRESENTATIVE, AGENT OR ATTORNEY OF ANY OTHER PARTY HAS REPRESENTED, EXPRESSLY OR OTHERWISE, THAT SUCH OTHER PARTY WOULD NOT, IN THE EVENT OF LITIGATION, SEEK TO ENFORCE EITHER OF SUCH WAIVERS; (ii) IT UNDERSTANDS AND HAS CONSIDERED THE IMPLICATIONS OF SUCH WAIVERS; (iii) IT MAKES SUCH WAIVER VOLUNTARILY; AND (iv) IT HAS BEEN INDUCED TO ENTER INTO THIS AGREEMENT BY, AMONG OTHER THINGS, THE MUTUAL WAIVERS AND CERTIFICATIONS IN THIS SECTION 10.9.

Section 10.10 Specific Performance. The Parties hereto agree that if any of the provisions of this Agreement were not performed in accordance with their specific terms or were otherwise breached, irreparable damage would occur, no adequate remedy at law would exist and damages would be difficult to determine, and that the Parties shall be entitled to specific performance of the terms hereof, in addition to any other remedy at law or equity.

Section 10.11 Invalid Provisions. If any provision of this Agreement is held to be illegal, invalid or unenforceable under any present or future law, and if the rights or obligations of any Party will not be materially and adversely affected thereby, (a) such provision will be fully severable; (b) this Agreement will be construed and enforced as if such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision had never comprised a part hereof; (c) the remaining provisions of this Agreement will remain in full force and effect and will not be affected by the illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision or by its severance herefrom; and (d) in lieu of such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision, there will be added automatically as a part of this Agreement a legal, valid and enforceable provision as similar in terms to such illegal, invalid or unenforceable provision as may be possible.

Section 10.12 Governing Law. THIS AGREEMENT SHALL BE GOVERNED BY AND CONSTRUED IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE LAWS OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, WITHOUT REGARD FOR THE CONFLICTS OF LAWS PRINCIPLES THEREOF.

Section 10.13 Counterparts. This Agreement may be executed in any number of counterparts, all of which will constitute one and the same instrument. Each Party may deliver its executed counterpart by electronic mail, and such delivery shall have the same legal effect as hand delivery of an originally executed counterpart,

Section 10.14 Conflicts of Interest; Privilege.

(a) If Seller so desires, and without the need for any consent or waiver by the Company or any Subsidiary, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ LLP (“▇▇▇▇▇ Peabody”) will be permitted to represent Seller after the Closing in connection with any matter, including any matter related to the transactions contemplated by this Agreement, any other agreements referenced herein or any disagreement or dispute relating thereto. Without limiting the generality of the foregoing, after the Closing, ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ will be permitted to represent Seller, any of its agents and Affiliates, or any one or more of them, in connection with any negotiation, transaction or dispute (including any litigation, arbitration or other adversary proceeding) with Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary, or any of their agents or Affiliates under or relating to this Agreement, any transaction contemplated by this Agreement, and any related matter, such as claims or disputes arising under other agreements, including with respect to any indemnification claims. Upon and after the Closing, the Company and the Subsidiaries will cease to have any attorney-client relationship with ▇▇▇▇▇ Peabody, unless and to the extent ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇ is specifically engaged in writing by the Company or any Subsidiary to represent the Company or Subsidiary after the Closing and either such engagement involves no conflict of interest with respect to any Seller or the Seller consents in writing at the time to such engagement. Any such representation of the Company or any Subsidiary by ▇▇▇▇▇ Peabody after the Closing will not affect the foregoing provisions hereof.

(b) Purchaser, for itself and its Affiliates, and its and its Affiliates’ respective successors and assigns, hereby irrevocably and unconditionally acknowledges and agrees that all attorney-client privileged communications between Seller, the Company, any Subsidiary, any equity holder of Seller, or its directors, managers, officers, employees, Affiliates, and/or their counsel, including ▇▇▇▇▇ ▇▇▇▇▇▇▇, made solely in connection with the negotiation, preparation, execution, delivery and closing under, or any dispute or proceeding arising under or in connection with, this Agreement or any of the transactions contemplated hereby, which, immediately prior to the Closing, would be deemed to be privileged communications of Seller, the Company or any Subsidiary, any equity holder of a Seller, their respective Affiliates and/or their counsel, and would not be subject to disclosure to Purchaser in connection with any proceeding relating to a dispute arising under or in connection with this Agreement, the transactions contemplated hereby or otherwise, will continue after the Closing to be privileged communications with such counsel and neither Purchaser nor any of its Affiliates nor any Person purporting to act on behalf of or through Purchaser or any of its Affiliates, will seek to obtain the same by any process on the grounds that the privilege attaching to such communications belongs to Purchaser, the Company or any Subsidiary or the business of the Company or any Subsidiary.
